Extended Front Driveways
Spring is here which means you might be thinking about starting home renovation projects, like building a garage, deck or even extending your existing driveway.
Extended front driveways impact pedestrian safety and prevent street parking, leaving visitors to your community without a place to park. In addition, they prevent front of home landscaping opportunities. Landscaping is an integral function of a community because it supports proper water drainage, helps replenish ground water which supports the maintenance of trees, and helps prevent increased temperatures in cities. As well, landscaping allows The City and its partners easier access to utility right of ways. Extending your driveway requires a permit and installing a hard surface along the entire front of your property is prohibited in many cases by City policies and bylaws.
Before you begin or hire a licensed contractor, find out what City of Calgary requirements might be required before you make a large investment. For this and other property development or building questions, call The City’s Planning Services Call Centre at 403-268-5311. They are available Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

‘Unidriveway’ complaints nearly double…
Published on metronews.ca by Jeremy Nolais on Feb 08, 2015
City planners say they’re taking action against more than 100 homeowners who’ve seemingly paved their little piece of front-lawn paradise and put up a parking lot.
“I think one person does it, then another person does and then pretty soon everybody says ‘Oh yeah, I don’t want to cut my grass and I want to park my car on it,’ ” said Coun. Jim Stevenson, who noted there have been more than 60 unidriveway reports in the northeast community of Saddle Ridge alone.
